Robbie Williams became overwhelmed with emotion as he addressed the death of a fan after one of his Australia shows last week.
A woman in her 70s named Robyn Hall was rushed to hospital last week after falling down six rows of seats at 49-year-old Robbie’s Sydney show on November 16.
Hall suffered serious head injuries and was placed in a coma but sadly died days later.
Performing as part of his XXV tour in Melbourne on Wednesday night, doting dad Robbie choked up when paying tribute to Hall.
In a video shared on X, formerly Twitter, by user @leonsjogren, Robbie appeared to become tearful as he told the crowd: ‘When something happens like this it breaks my heart.
‘I’ve been thinking about it an awful lot, and I thought about it all the way through the show tonight.’
He added: ‘I just want to give a big shout-out and lots of love from me and my band to Robyn and Robyn’s family.
‘Let’s all sing up, she was somebody just like you who came to the gig, just like you did tonight.’
Robbie then dedicated his hit song Angel to Hall.
On Tuesday, more details emerged about the circumstances surrounding Hall’s death, which was confirmed at the beginning of the week by St Vincent’s Hospital where she was being treated for her injuries.
Her son, Michael Hall, also took to Facebook to mourn his mum.
According to MailOnline, he wrote: ‘I haven’t got the words to say what my mum meant to me.’
She is thought to have been on the upper grandstand level and trying to climb over seats when she fell in what was called a ‘serious incident’.
On Friday, an ambulance service spokesperson confirmed to Sky News Australia that she was in critical condition after paramedics were called to the scene at 10.15pm.
Venues NSW confirmed in a statement: ‘This is a terribly sad incident and our thoughts and wishes are with the patron and their family during this time. The patron was attended to immediately by venue staff and a nearby guest who is a qualified medical professional.
‘Medics arrived shortly after and the patron was taken from the venue by ambulance to hospital.’
